You're good at reading critter expressions! You should consider doing it for a living! (In my best grandparent you should become a musician voice) ๐Ÿ˜‚

She doesn't call it an accelerator or gas pedal. She calls it a foot feet. No typo.

And I understand, I hear it come out of her mouth in person and I still don't get it.

Love everything about it!

Twist, Danny DeVito plays Rapunzel. Totally serious, no winks.

I would get behind this at least.

I nominate this as the modern replacement of the Pikachu meme. Thank you.

Yup, but I don't know the knowledge of all PC gamers so just trying to be helpful to everyone who reads the comment.

A buddy rents all his video games there. He hasn't bought a game in several years. As he has two younger children it's nice to save the money I'm sure.

So if you're a budget gamer this is smart! You don't even need to be a patient gamer it seems. He's been renting games that have come out just weeks before.

His library (and mine) only offer console games. Not helpful for us PC gamers.

Meet James (thelemmy.club)

Not cute by everyone's standards but I think he's just adorable. I almost stepped on him today. He's very good with boundaries and seemed appreciative I respected his.

I really like the look of this sedan. When Hyundai made the Ioniq 5 I thought they needed to make more cars with this design style. The Ioniq 6 doesn't do it for me. The unreleased hydrogen sports car is sexy AF.

Feeling confident enough to try a more detailed tattoo and I think it came out great. Then I decided to push it with a magical twist. Does the effect fit the rest of the image or did I go too far?

Mystical (thelemmy.club)

Have you seen Legend, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, or similar styled movies? These were the hits from my childhood and I think they still hold up today. This is my attempt to make my own slice of a world in that style. The reference for the waterfall called for it!

Hair (thelemmy.club)
submitted 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) by BallShapedMan@lemmy.world to c/artshare@lemmy.world

I've not found a technique I like for really curly hair. Wavy to mildly curly I feel good about. Do you have a technique you like you would suggest I consider?

For the record this is the best I've done and I'm happier with it than any other attempt. But it's not a good as what's in my mind or the reference.

The reference for reference:

I keep ending up with AI music in my playlist when exploring for me music. What is your workflow to avoid it? Searching DDG for me has been more bandwidth intensive than I like...

Some background. My favorite song is a song I haven't heard yet. And my appetite sways wildly. One month it's old school urban rap, the next it's kpop, and then Nordic death metal and so on.

I never know what I'll be in the mood for but I'll find a thread with a song I don't know and use it to build play lists to see what I find and sometimes I find trash gems that way.

This last time our friend group watched Eurovision 2026 together and some of those songs are bangers. One of them led to adding a few artists built off of playlists from that song I really liked, and they all ended up being AI... damnit!

Trying something a bit different with my brush work. Not really happy with how it turned out but it was a fun experiment.

Model (thelemmy.club)

Brown skin is hard for me. Something I need more practice in which is why I selected this model. Plus her hair looked like it would be fun to paint, and it was!

Amanda Seyfried (thelemmy.club)

Can you recognize her without reading her name? I'm still working on a stylized style that isn't photo realistic and more an expression of me.

Stylized Attempt 3 (thelemmy.club)

I treated the line work a bit differently here. More like a photo realistic and less like a drawing. Thoughts or feedback?

Stylized Attempt 2 (thelemmy.club)

The standard rules are to make the head and face larger particularly the eyes and mouth. How do you think this looks? Feedback?
